-2002-??-?? 0.4.3
+2002-??-?? 0.5.0
 Fixed:
+ . #576086 ] dumb copying mistake (frontends/ZRoundup.py)
  . installation instructions now mention "python2" in "testing your python".
+ . made the unit tests run again - they were quite b0rken
+ . #571170 ] gdbm deadlock
+ . #576241 ] MultiLink problems in parsePropsFromForm
+ . fixed the date module so that Date(". - 2d") works
+ . web forms may now unset Link values (like assignedto)
+ . cleanup: moved roundup.templatebuilder to roundup.templates.builder
+
+Feature:
+TODO: roll stuff in from the TODO to here
+ . added is_retired test to hyperdb.Class
+ . added capability to save queries:
+   - a query Class with name, klass (to search) and url (query string)
+     properties
+   - a Multilink to query on user called queries
+   - html templates for query, and a list of queries in user.item
+   - search form has Save button & name input
+   - saved queries put in menu in pagehead
+   - for migration, none of the above is required and old behavior preserved.
+   - showquery translates search form <-> query string
+ . cleaned up the indexer code:
+   - it splits more words out
+   - removed code we'll never use (roundup.roundup_indexer has the full
+     implementation, and replaces roundup.indexer)
+   - only index text/plain and rfc822/message (ideas for other text formats to
+     index are welcome)
+   - added simple unit test for indexer. Needs more tests for regression.
+   - all String properties may now be indexed too. Currently there's a bit of
+     "issue" specific code in the actual searching which needs to be
+     addressed. In a nutshell:
+     + pass 'indexme="yes"' as a String() property initialisation arg, eg:
+           file = FileClass(db, "file", name=String(), type=String(),
+               comment=String(indexme="yes"))
+     + the comment will then be indexed and be searchable, with the results
+       related back to the issue that the file is linked to
+   - as a result of this work, the FileClass has a default MIME type that may
+     be overridden in a subclass, or by the use of a "type" property as is
+     done in the default templates.
+   - the regeneration of the indexes (if necessary) is done once the schema is
+     set up in the dbinit.
+   - new "reindex" command in roundup-admin used to force regeneration of the 
+     index
+ . added email display function - mangles email addrs so they're not so easily
+   scraped from the web
+ . added sorting of checklist HTML display
+ . switched to using a session-based web login
+ . made mailgw handle set and modify operations on multilinks (bug #579094)
+ . all storage-specific code (ie. backend) is now implemented by the backends
+ . fixed the journal bloat from multilink changes - we just log the add or
+   remove operations, not the whole list
